More "Star Trek computer" and less C3PO would be a start.

We all know the "voice" of log output of normal, non-LLM computer programs. Usually, the statements are in passive voice and tersely describe what the program is doing or print new kind of data available. An LLM with that style would already sound much more like a computer program than a person.

E.g. an answer to your example prompt could be something like:

   * Locating relevant code for "genserver" and "sync" in the codebase...
   * Reading files...
   * Data collection completed. Analysis results are as follows:
     * Factors that suggest a bottleneck are:
        - ...
     * Factors that speak against a bottleneck are:
        - ...
     * Overall assessment:
        - ...
   * Request complete.
Or something like that.

Sounds just like bad UX and harder to use.
What about it is 'bad UX' or harder? It seems simple, effective, and more efficient to me.
